Welcome to Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue

Popeye
"It's hard for me to put into words how fast and hard we fell in love with Popeye. He came at a hard time for us, the same night he arrived we had to rush our bunny off to the vet and unfortunately she passed away. Everything in me wanted to crawl in bed and sob over her, but Popeye needed us. He challenged us greatly with many potty messes. Helping him walk to the yard, getting peed on several times while walking. I think the intense amount of care we had to give him over just 1 month made our bond grow so quickly. Despite his inability to use his back legs, he always insisted on being wherever we were, even if we were gone for seconds he immediately got up and drag himself to where we were. He loved to bask in the sun and dinner time was always a joy. At times he loved to play and he would box like the Boxer he was. He absolutely loved to chew on anything BUT a dog toy. We didn't know how much time he had left so he got many snacks and we're normally a strictly no human food for dogs household. It truly tickled me when we'd get takeout and my husband would say "hey, give this to Popeye". The day he passed is not something I'll be able to get over for a long time. It was so sudden, he didn't deserve to die without his closest people there. Even if we had turned around we would have never made it in time. We left him thinking he'll be back home that night with us. We made arrangements for future care while we left town because we never thought he'd be gone so soon. We loved him fiercely and miss him so much it hurts. I hope he knew how much we loved him even up to his last breath."

Ross
You could tell Ross had been through some pretty tough times when he arrived; his beautiful brindle coat and big-eyed bulldoggie face were wrapped around a cancer-filled, weakened body. He gobbled his food like he was making up for a lot of missed meals. But what a loving, trusting wiggle-butt boy. Mr. Ross, the Ross-man, Ross-a-roni was so gentle; loved getting out for his slow, wobbly walks, laying in the grass and getting pets from all he met that he would return with polite kisses. I'm so very grateful I got to spend a couple of weeks with him, getting to know his goofy ways, cuddling on the floor & sharing yummy treats. Thanks for letting me love you to the end, Ross-a-roni boy.

Roma
A true sweetheart. She must have been loved at some point. She was covered in lesions and a bloody mess. I made her as comfortable as possible and just loved on her. She was such a gentle spirit and took it all in with such ease. Roma was deemed a hospice case; we just waited for her to tell me when it was time. She did. Crying as I'm writing this. She was a good baby and she meant something to us.

Frankie
Oh Frankie, what can I say? You wanted so much to run, jump and play like a three year old Boxer should. When you were tired, you snored with the best of them. You were a typical, slobbering beautiful Boxer boy and you are so sorely missed. RCBR sprung you from the shelter after a month, and placed you in an awesome foster home for almost 2 more months. We adopted you on May 15 and you quickly claimed our hearts. Your heartworm infestation wound up being a rare case of Caval Syndrome. Healing thoughts, prayers and a veterinary team willing to try non-invasive treatments got that under control so you were started on the path of heartworm treatment. Other issues started showing up, including tremors/seizures and aggression. After 8-1/2 weeks, we realized something was very wrong deep down inside, and you needed to be free of it all. We helped you cross the Rainbow Bridge, hoping you knew you were loved and not responsible for whatever transpired before we knew you. Run free, sweet Frankie.

Neko
When I was asked to find rescue for a Boxer named Neko, I did not hesitate to contact Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue, and they did not hesitate to say, “ yes, we will help him”. Neko was a beautiful fawn 12 year old boy who had lost control of his back leg (I later found out that he was completely paralyzed). I drove 2.5 hours to his home thinking I was going to take him to the vet to be evaluated and hopefully get treatment. The moment I saw him I knew he had no quality left in his life. He was barely able to move. His owner helped me put him in my car and I drove 30 minutes to the vet with tears in my eyes. I only knew Neko for a couple hours, but as I held him, I whispered in his ear how beautiful he was and that he was not going to suffer any longer. I felt as if he was every dog who has had to suffer at the hands of a human. It gave me a clarity that I had not felt before. Because of a rescue, I was able to get Neko the relief he needed so he could cross over the Rainbow Bridge and run free. I realized how very important we are as rescuers to so many animals who deeply need us….not just to save lives but to end them humanely and with love. Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue came to be his angel.
